Metallic corrosion in waste incineration: A look at selected environmental and alloy fundamentals
- INCO Alloys International, Inc., Huntington, WV (United States)
As the use of industrial and municipal waste incineration increases, the need for maximizing performance of the materials of construction is becoming ever more evident. Much of the knowledge base regarding alloy performance has been gleaned from field experience and in many cases has led to more confusion than enlightenment. This is not surprising given the tremendous a variation in the composition of industrial and municipal waste and the wide fluctuations in incinerator operating conditions. Clearly, the laboratory is a better vehicle for elucidating the fundamentals that interact in actual practice to dictate alloy performance. The past decade has witnessed a significant degree of attention to the metallurgical problems and their solutions. An attempts at assessment of their general understanding of the corrosion mechanics found relevant to performance should be beneficial at this time. Especially if this assessment stimulates improved alloy selection, new alloy development and less corrosive operating practices.
